Why doesn't this game follow the trading rules of Catan??browsing

a) Domestic Trade✹
On your turn, you can trade Resource Cards with any of the
other players. You can announce which resources you need
and what you are willing to trade for them. The other players
can also make their own proposals and counter offers.

So why does this game not allow the other players to make their own proposals?

@cosmicelf You can make your own proposals once the other player starts trading, just use the counter offer button. You just can't start trades unprompted... which to be honest is annoying if you deny their trade request and then realize you actually had a counter offer

So is that more the problem - that you can't initiate trades when it isn't your turn?
